The UFW has been responding in real time out of our Madera and Delano offices this week. Our union members have been directly impacted, subjected to suspicionless stops, warrantless detention, blatant racial profiling and brutal arrest on rural roads serving agricultural worksites.

hey, House and Senate Dems, I just got a pilot survey question on this and knowing that Elon Musk is getting the contract for a DOD program craters support for that program among Democrats and significantly hurts with Inds. More to come.

One key point @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social makes here is that if Dems win the midterms (and win in 2028), deploying congressional power creatively to unwind Elon Musk's sway over the government (contracts, etc) will be essential to any reconstruction: www.ms.now/opinion/elon...

I love how he says “double“ as though he’s being really big here, and as though a dollar amount remains equivalent from year to year (and of course, as you point out, as though interest is not a thing)

One day after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals came out against the Pentagon’s plan to livestream an execution, Pope Leo has published a tweet reiterating the Catholic Church’s opposition to the death penalty.

Pope Leo XIV • @Pontifex• •4h

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption.

Here is my pitch for anyone who has worries about rail: I think that building out rail is a necessary (but not sufficient) step in transforming American cities from totally car dependent to slightly walkable, in a way that no other form of transit is.

Trump is openly siding with Putin, blaming Ukraine's self-defense rather than Russia's aggression for the war, and telling Ukraine to surrender. Worth calling it out every time. But hardly new. Ambushing Zelensky in DC, aping Russian propaganda, and insisting it's Ukraine's fault was March 2025.

Trump’s handling of Ukraine proves Russian propaganda is working

As Carl von Clausewitz wrote in the 19th century, “the aggressor is always peace-loving. ... He would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”

Too many people in the media give Trump props for "transparency" because he talks to reporters frequently. But he lies most of the time and often ignores questions. A day after he talked about letting Iran destroy Los Angeles and San Diego, he won't even explain what he meant.
